since the headlight is different, would you need new fender as well?

 

no you dont

 

anyone knows how much will the paint job and installation fee be?
thanks!!

 

That will largely depend on your area and the more specifically what the quality of the shop is, over here at a good shop that i know id expect to pay about ~$600 to have the front bumper and spoiler painted so youd be better off buying a prepainted one and the install i recommend you do yourself if possible by following the DIY on these forums else maybe ~$200-300 for install.

Once again every area has their own pricing range and differs greatly shop to shop, these estimates given are specifically focused on one ship that i use often that does quality work and good price.

 

Thanks for infor. I'm started ordering parts.
But I can't find the place to order that aftermarket fog light.
Anyone refer me a link, please

 

^^^ just google it >>> fog lights for 2011 G37 sedan

 

One friend got this bumper only thing he changed was just the front grill as he said you can still intall fog light s and middle grill but he went with some LEDs.

 

^^^ nice!!! It's a front bumper by Carbon Signal. how much was it I wonder?? I personally like newer G37 headlights better, the stock lip better as well. But it's awesome that they released a front bumper just like a conversion one and you can keep your old headlights.

 

Man. This is awesome. Loving it. I want to do this to my 07 coupe. And people ask why or why don't you get a g37. Well bc first I love my cars A$S and I love the 37 front. But that A$S is whack. Lol

 

Dont quote me for the price but I remember my friend paying around 600$ for the bumper and extra 100 for the grill.

He was told that if in future he wants to install fog lights and middle lower grill from G37s bumper those will fit as well

 

question .. if you just throw the old washer bottel away without putting the G37's, wud u still need to swap your absorber, Beam ..etc for the G37 ones ?

i'm asking this because you only need those to make them fit to your new G37 washer, and since you're not putting a washer bottle then i guess you don't need all these parts.

So get rid of the bottle and get the bumper along with it's external accessories + G37 headlights .
what do u think ?

 

IDK, looking at the pics (above) of the two side by side, it looks like there may be some subtle shape differences in the absorbers to accommodate the differnt contours of the bumpers. Also, you may find not having a washer bottle really sucks when you're driving and suddenly you need it desperately due to vision issues.

 

I like that aftermarket bumper pictured above. It looks like you keep all your old parts and it just swaps out with your old bumper. If you go with the G37 conversion with oem parts, you MUST change the washer bottle, headlights, and bumper foam reinforcement. Then you have to buy fogs, fog grilles, and upper as well as lower bumper grilles. Painting the front bumper will vary but $250 - $350 for the paint job is about what a normal shop would charge (could be a little more since they see you own a luxury car or if you have an expensive color like Malbec black or pearl white aka moonlight white).

 

Just got an insurance check for $1150 from a guy who backed into my front bumper. It only made a tiny dimple in it, small enough to cover with a half-dollar, but the repair estimate still came out to that amount

Anyway, with the inspiration provided by this thread, and with that check as some major seed money to get started, I'm seriously thinking of doing this conversion project. What the heck, life's short . . . might as well!


(Shurik, as I get closer to pulling the trigger, I may hit you up for any specific pointers you may have)

 

^ thats a good decision imo it will give the car a nice facelift and make it look more sporty
